Chapter 129: Treasure Whale Bone Bow

"Something is entering position two." Su Wuji suddenly said seriously. "You have ranged attack methods?"

"I don't. I must prepare more in the future." Su Cheng sighed.

Su Wuji quietly slipped out, aimed carefully, pulled a mini gray crossbow from his storage ring, fitted it with an exquisite crossbow bolt, and shot a dim gray light with a swish; the bolt was so small that one might easily miss it flying out quickly.

With a bang, a strip-shaped object was pinned firmly to the ground.

Its forehead seemed to bulge, and finally, it made no more movement.

When Su Wuji returned, he made no effort to conceal the small crossbow in his hand.

Su Cheng looked on with a face full of envy.

"The thing in your hand is a custom One's Own Masterpiece from the Golden Pivot Pavilion, isn't it? The power is quite good."

The small crossbow in Su Wuji's hand looked like a child's toy at first glance.

It was made very mini.

Just right for Su Wuji's age to use.

By the time Su Wuji grows a few years older, this little gadget will be useless.

Come to think of it, it is a waste for parents to make one for their child.

"This small crossbow was bought for me by my grandfather. I told him not to buy it, but he insisted on buying it for me." Su Wuji said in a very humble-bragging manner.

Things from the Golden Pivot Pavilion are indeed of good quality, but they are also expensive.

This small, delicate crossbow paired with twenty metal crossbow bolts would cost at least a thousand spirit stones to acquire.

"My grandfather bought me five small crossbows and matching bolts at once. Do you need to borrow any? I can lend them to you to use; you can return them to me tomorrow morning once the enemies have settled down."

"Brother Wuji, I need to borrow a set." Su Cheng immediately said.

"What about you, Su Jin?" Su Wuji asked again.

"I have this." Su Jin directly took out a small white bone bow from her storage ring. It was also a mini version, perfectly suited to her current body proportions. The two ends of this small bone bow were carved with two mini little whales.

"Is this a Whale Bone Bow?" Su Wuji and Su Cheng were both greatly surprised.

Su Jin nodded, then took out a bag and hung it on her waist; inside the small bag were over a hundred mini bone-carved arrows.

"Your grandfather is truly too generous." Su Wuji sighed.

Don't look at my One's Own Masterpiece small crossbow; it looks exquisite and is quite lethal.

But the Whale Bone Bow in Su Jin's hand is a true Treasure. Moreover, it is a growable Treasure.

Of course, although the Whale Bone Bow has outstanding advantages, its disadvantages are also very prominent.

It relies too much on bones.

To make the Whale Bone Bow grow, you must constantly feed it special bones. Ordinary bones are useless to the Whale Bone Bow when eaten.

Moreover, the consumption of bone-carved arrows for the Whale Bone Bow is high; one bone-carved arrow is generally discarded after a single use. Unlike my metal crossbow bolts, which I can go retrieve tomorrow morning to use again. So, a One's Own Masterpiece Artifact is also quite suitable for me.

Su Wuji thought: Buying a large quantity of bone-carved arrows is not cheap either.

Although the Whale Bone Bow has many disadvantages, a Treasure is after all a Treasure. This Treasure was absolutely crafted by a Master Artificer within the Sect.

Such an item would be very useful in the hands of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Su Wuji truly did not expect Su Jin's grandfather to be so generous, procuring a mini Treasure for his little granddaughter.

"I just received it. Grandfather said I should practice my archery well." Su Jin said.

Previously, she had thought that since the classmates in the Martial Class were so strong, she too must accumulate some methods, lest she be at a loss when the full-grade arena battle truly came.

She had originally planned to cultivate two more Martial Techniques.

She never expected her grandfather to send her a set of Whale Bone Bow and arrows.

With this bow and arrow set, even if her future opponents are classmates from the Martial Class, she now has some combat trump cards.

"Something is coming from position seven." Su Cheng, who had been monitoring the Warning Array, immediately said upon detecting the disturbance.

Su Jin rushed out silently without hesitation.

Bang, another thing fell from the sky, smashing hard onto the ground.

Just like that, the three of them kept watch seriously. The small crossbows and arrows took turns being deployed.

They persisted until the middle of the night, having dealt with about five or six disturbances, before the entire large garden finally quieted down.

Of course, during that time in between, sounds of cultivators fighting were also heard.

There were also shrill cries of distress.

There were also the cries of babies that suddenly stopped.

In short, just listening made one feel that the situation was not good.

Su Jin was a bit worried about her sister-in-law and Su Xiaohe.

After finally holding out until dawn the second day, before Su Jin could run to visit her sister-in-law and Su Xiaohe, they saw a Liu Shi arrive, looking exhausted and carrying a faint sadness.

"How is the situation on your side? Is anyone injured? Last night, a student in our class was careless; while on duty guarding, he fell asleep. As a result, he was bitten to death by a venomous snake. Now our class has only twenty-four students again." Liu Shi said.

Su Jin and the other two listened and were all speechless.

They asked with their eyes: Does such a person really exist?

Liu Shi nodded heavily.

She thought: If the attrition continues like this, her Wood Class might have less than half the people in less than three years.

"Liu Shi, no one here is injured. We were on watch monitoring the Warning Array all night. After the disturbance started last night, we seem to have eliminated five or six things that triggered the Warning Array. Liu Shi, do you want to go take a look?"

"Then Wuji, come with me." Liu Shi had also come with the intention of testing the combat effectiveness of Su Wuji's group of students.

After all, the sudden attack that appeared without warning last night was both a crisis and a trial.

Eliminating some students unsuitable to be cultivators, the remainder will be future family elites.

Soon Su Wuji returned: "Liu Shi took us to the things we eliminated."

"What did we eliminate?" Su Cheng asked hurriedly.

"Two venomous snakes, two owls, and one large black-furred rat. Five creatures in total," Su Wuji said. "Our position is closer to the central heart of the Great Garden, not the main battlefield from last night. I heard Elder Liu say that the places where the student children were stationed on the outskirts of the Great Garden were the primary direction of the attack last night.

Those in charge there were all third-year student children. I heard five of them died last night. More than seventy were injured."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin and Su Cheng both widened their eyes in unison.

Who exactly launched a surprise attack on their location last night?

How could they be so ruthless?

They actually killed five student children at once and injured more than seventy others.

Su Jin's heart rose in her chest at this moment.

If the third-year student children were stationed on the outskirts, then what has become of her great-niece, Xiao Hua, now?

"My great-niece is a third-year student child; I must go inquire about her situation," Su Jin said immediately. "Can the two of you hold the line for a while? I will return very soon."

"Very well, go ahead. You need not worry about us here," Su Wuji waved his hand, agreeing to let Su Jin go find someone. His grandfather had only him as a surviving descendant; he had no need to worry about others.

Su Cheng also nodded.

Within the Clan Academy, he had no relatives he needed to seek out.
